Last Call for SMEs: Secure 40% savings with Microsoft BTTC2 Ends 31 Dec 2025

By now we’re sure you’re well aware how cloud transformation is no longer optional for SMEs- it’s the foundation for operational resilience, modernisation, and long-term growth. 

For organisations still operating on Dynamics on-premises systems, Microsoft’s Bridge to the Cloud 2 (BTTC2) promotion has been one of the most significant cost-saving pathways to move to the cloud.

But this opportunity is coming to an end. BTTC2 officially closes on 31 December 2025, and all qualifying customers must take action before this date to secure the 40% discount.

This article outlines what BTTC2 is, who qualifies, what needs to be completed by the deadline, and the urgent next steps SMEs should take, starting now.

What is BTTC2?

Bridge to the Cloud 2 (BTTC2) is a Microsoft New Commerce Experience (NCE) promotion that offers eligible Dynamics on-premises customers a 40% discount when migrating to most Dynamics 365 online products.

This promotion applies to a three-year, non-cancellable term, giving SMEs a stable window to transition to the cloud while reducing licensing costs during the migration to most Dynamics 365 online products licensed through an eligible partner-led NCE subscription. 

What BTTC2 covers:

• 40% discount on eligible Dynamics 365 SKUs.

• Fixed 3‑year term (non‑renewable, non‑cancellable).

• Available to on‑prem customers with active Enhancement Plan (EP); monthly CSP value must be ≥ EP value.

Example for Business Central:

Let’s consider a business currently migrating to Dynamics 365 Business Central as an example.

If the organisation has already provisioned Full User licences (Essentials or Premium) but still requires additional SKUs such as Team Members or Device licences, these must also be added no later than 31 December 2025.

Any licence that is not provisioned by this cutoff will not be eligible for BTTC2 pricing. Starting 1 January 2026, no additional SKUs can be appended to BTTC2.

3 Immediate Next Steps for SMEs

1. Identify all SKUs required under BTTC2: 

• Inventory all SKUs needed under BTTC2 per tenant (e.g., BC Essentials/Premium, Team Members, Device, Dynamics 365 Sales, Customer Service, Professional Service, Finance, Supply Chain, and include all Attach Licenses needed).

2. Plan to place the final BTTC2 order

• Place the final order and provision every BTTC2 SKU on Dec 31, 2025 (same day) for each eligible customer.

3. Validate eligibility criteria:

• Validate eligibility (active EP; CSP monthly value ≥ EP) and retain compliance records and documentation for compliance. 

Important: Please note that this BTTC2 promotion is designed for businesses committed to moving to the cloud. Customers returning to or remaining on on-premises licenses after the promotional period who want Enhancement Plan (EP) benefits are subject to normal backpay and penalty policies (Microsoft Dynamics 365 “Bridge to the Cloud 2” Promotion 2025).
